CLEANING PLAN FOR CARPET
AND RUGS—Of all household tex
tiles, carp,et takes the most severe
punishment. However, simple meth
ods of regular care preserve its
beauty and insure long, satisfac
tory service. Good advice from car
pet research specialists:
1. Daily Cleaning—^A light brush-
up with vacuum cleaner or carpet
sweeper each day is advisable in
most homes. The dirt is thus re
moved promptly, before it is
ground into the fibers.
2. Weekly Cleaning—Vacuum
Cleaning—Vacuum cleaning is nec
essary at least once a week. Each
section of the carpet should be
gone over repeatedly until the par
ticles of surface soil and embed
ded grit are removed.
3. Periodic Cleaning—Remove
spots promptly, using a soft cloth
dampened with clear water or
cleaning fluid. Do not*saturate the
rag. Dry quickly. Raise the damp
section of rug to allow air to cir
culate under it. Once or twice a
year, use a vacuum on the back of
the riife and over both sides of the
carpet cushion.
Professional cleaning by a de
pendable rug cleaning establish
ment assures thorough cleaning
that will greatly increase service
from your rug.
Moth Damage Prevention for
Wool Rugs—Regular use of vacuum
or sweeper will do much to dis
courage moths from setting. It is
wise to use preventives occasion
ally, such as . flakes, bombs or
sprays.
hunting and fishing, and he was
always happy to return to his na
tive New Bern for a trip to the
woods.
During his boyhood here he was
quite an athlete, and many an old
ster who reads these lines will re
call him as a chum worth knowing.
Never, as long as he remained
among the living, did he lose this
trait that made people in all walks
of life regard him with affection.
For example, the King j>f Sweden
took a liking to him on a visit to
Philadelphia. Taking the trouble
to find out that the New Berhian
was from North Carolina, a tobacco
state, the monarch later sent him
a gold snuff box as a gift.
With a king or a street cleaner,
Guy was just “plain folks.”

This last named citation meant
a great deal to Guy, since his love
for young people and aprqciation
of their, problems had endeared
him to Philadelphia’s youth.
In 1950, he was nominated for
the Bok Award, as Philadelphia’s
most outstanding citizen of the
year. No higher honor could come
to any resident in the Quaker City,
but Guy, despite his recognition
from sources far and wide, remain

was before the cloak of greatness
wrapped around his broad Mould

As Chief Air Raid Warden for
Philadelphia during World War II,
it was his duty to formulate and
administer the program for 120,000
air raid wardens and auxiliary po

In addition to his police work,
he enlisted in the Pennsylvania
National Guard in April 1924. He
worked his way up from private
